Modesty

Modesty should be ignored when the purpose justify.

God sees looks at the inside: Dress code does not matter.

Body art; make up, pearsing, tattoos, etc.

If I am comfortable, then it is ok- i.e. confidence in error.

Men should control themselves, stop being weak.

Modesty is for women only.

Men Women

Unfortunately, no excuse

permissible to God for falling

for lust.

Job 31:1, “I made a covenant

with my eyes

not to look lustfully at a

young woman.

Matthew 5:28; But I tell you

that anyone who looks at a

woman lustfully has already

committed adultery with her in

his heart.

Unfortunately, no excuse permissible

to God for conforming to sensual

behavior.

Jeremiah 6:15, Are they ashamed of

their detestable conduct?

No, they have no shame at all;

they do not even know how to

blush.

So they will fall among the fallen;

they will be brought down when I

punish them,”

says the Lord.

Luke 17:1, Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come.

Titus 2:4 – 5, 4Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children,5 to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.

Romans 12: 2 – Conforming to the things of the world.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your

mind.Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and

perfect will.

Romans 12:3 – liking fashion puts in position of elevating yourself. You want to be visible and of high status.

For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than

you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has

distributed to each of you.

1 Timothy 2:8 – 10 – adorn.

Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or

disputing. 9 I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning

themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes,

1 Peter 3:3 – 4

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading

beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.

‘No reason makes what is immodest to become modest’
